The use of custom implants is becoming increasingly common in small animal surgery as 3D surgical planning and 3D metal printing technology become more widely available and less costly. This seminar will consist of several lectures from veterinary surgeons with experience in the development and implantation of custom implants in veterinary patients. The goal of the seminar will be to increase small animal surgeons' awareness of the potential of custom implants in the field of small animal surgery.

Articular fractures occur commonly in dogs and cats. The goal of treatment is to allow a return to pain-free motion and ameliorate the inevitable development of osteoarthritis. Adherence to certain principles is critical in giving the patient the greatest opportunity of maintaining a healthy joint. Principles of treatment include obtaining an accurate diagnosis, early treatment, achieving anatomical reduction, providing rigid fixation, restoring the functional axis of the limb, and appropriate use of postoperative physical rehabilitation. 

During this seminar, the speakers will explore the principles and the underlying evidence base and provide guidance for their application. Unfortunately, despite adherence to such principles, high morbidity remains commonly associated with articular fracture treatment, particularly with pathologic articular fractures where an incomplete understanding of the associated pathogenesis likely contributes to suboptimal results. Later talks in this seminar will explore specific mechanisms of dealing with such pathologic fractures and explore when minimally invasive techniques, including fracturoscopy, may become applicable. In the final lecture, the speakers will consider when total joint replacement may be considered for articular fracture management, the challenges associated with this, and how the technique can be adapted to optimize outcomes.

Agenda

Karen Perry, BVM&S, CertSAS, DECVS, MSc Vet Ed, FHEA, MRCVS, facilitates the following presentations:
